As explained in the foregoing chapter, once the relevant cash outflows and inflows associated with a foreign direct investment project are estimated so as to calculate the net cash flows, the desirability of the investment project should then be determined in terms of its economic profitability. Therefore, in this chapter the methods widely used in evaluating investment projects are discussed and their advantages as well as shortcomings are highlighted. Later in the chapter, evaluating foreign direct investment projects from the viewpoint of the parent company is elaborated in terms of profit and/or income transferred to the home country. The same investment evaluation techniques were applied to the net cash flows transferred to the home country of the parent company. The possible income and/or dividends to be remitted to the home country of a parent company are identified and discussed so as to reflect the viewpoints of investing parent companies when planning foreign direct investments. This two-level evaluation approach is generally followed in practice to make sure that direct investments are profitable at both host and home country levels, since an investment project that is not profitable at host country level would not be profitable at home country level either or a project that is profitable at host country level may not be profitable at home country level.

The Impact

The article explores the recent debate regarding the rules of sovereignty and the need to acquire technology through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in relation to the Algerian Business Law. The article explores the 51/49 rule as an obligatory condition for direct international partnerhip projects, which requires a majority of Algerian ownership of at least 51 percent in all foreign direct investment projects (FDIP). The current research also investigates the impact of the 51/49 rule on the inflows of the foreign direct investments in Algeria as well as some other countries. The research concludes that there is no evidence that the amendment of the 51/49 rule would lead to technology transfer through the FDI.

Country Selection

This chapter develops a framework for the whole book and defines a road map for the chapters that follow it. However, in order to follow the road map or to go through the stages of analyses defined for a comprehensive economic study called a feasibility study for an investment project, the starting point is to select a country for the foreign direct investment contemplated. Therefore, country selection is the first step for starting a comprehensive economic study for planning and analyzing foreign direct investments. For this reason, before starting to plan, analyze, and evaluate a foreign direct investment, a country has to be determined for the direct investment project intended. As such, factors affecting country selection in terms of opportunities and risks related to alternative countries are specified and elaborated first and then put together in an example to develop a methodology for selecting a host country for the direct investment planned abroad. Country selection is based on a procedural methodology that goes through, firstly, a scanning stage that aims at identifying possible countries for investment; secondly, eliminating less desirable countries for determining possible candidates; and finally, choosing the most adequate country for investment through a so-called opportunity-risk matrix.
